Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 13, 2022

The face looks more like a baseball an a bat for a scythe than football. Death is not sport specific it seems, who knew.

The grim designated hitter.

The dog looks amused.

Poor bugger.

“Ed, he knows this is Sudden, but Death says you’re Overtime.”

Typically Padres expectations every year.

Does not apply in Pittsburgh. They know there will be no postseason in early Spring

I am ecstatic! The toothy dog is back! I love the toothy dog! Now all he has to do is bring back Obvious Man lol

If the Celtics, the Bruins, the Red Sox and the Patriots all won their championship, would that be a grand slam, heaven on earth, or pure bliss. And I am a Candian, ha ha, stuck with the Toronto Make Beliefs. and the Ottawa senators, that play like a bunch of stodgy old senators.

Just as in any profession, not all Grim Reapers make it to the top! (or is it bottom?)

Yep! Stick a fork innit.

In true to " form " the Detroit Lions " lost their first game : ( Whew ! I can’t wait for the rest of the season ?

Texas Rangers fan? Well, to prospects are not all that good for the Cowboys either.

Yep. The Count went to the Bengals first pre season game last night. The walk to and from the parking garage where The Countmobile awaited reminded him that he should have had a personal training camp.

LOVE the dog…

Now Ed can go outside and toss a tennis ball around with the dog.

Our anti-vax QB is out with Covid. Go Vikes!

Yeah, I was following the Cubs again this year and I’m pretty sure this harbinger of heartbreak dropped by my house too.

So, the baseball specter judges football in the off season? Who knew?

I was raised in Boston and live in Denver. Screwed both ways.

I am less pleased that the Dodgers got into Championship form the Yankee way: Throwing money at the problem until a ring falls out.

So much for ⚾. Now, about your ⛹ and ⚽ teams… ☠️

What an awesome weapon. If he can’t slice you, he can bop you on the head

It’s about time, the Reds have been dead since June. Go Bucks!

Dang, my New Jersey whackers won’t make it to the playoffs?!?!

The Grim Spoiler.

If you ever wonder how people can follow trump and his gang, consider this; in Boston we have Red Sox Nation, Patriot Nation et al. These masters of Bullshyt have convinced the great unwashed masses, that these are their teams, not that the teams are the toys of some fat, rich white guys. With the right wording, imagery and a sprinkle of codswallop, it’s possible to convince the teeming masses to believe anything. Sad.

This has been my official old man grumble for today. Apologies, if you’re a sports nut.

Red Sox fan here. We already know this.

surprise the reaper wasn’t wearing a tiger Jersey

Met fans won’t be seeing him this year.

GO WARRIORS!!! They are going to be even better next year, Mr Thompson will be 100%. The rest of the NBA will just have to fight for second place.

I wonder if this guy is a Mets fan.

Guess Ed’s a Red Sox fan…

“Good news and bad news, Ed. ‘Yes’ there is baseball in heaven. Unfortunately you’ll be in the starting lineup next week.”

Funny thing the Grim Reaper reaps the souls of the dead. However, being a psychopomp doesn’t kill. Just takes souls to the Land of the Dead.

Love the baseball bat “scythe” (which is, at least, no more unrealistic than the usual cartoonists’ rendition of that tool).

For Ed’s sake, I hope that his teams at least try to win!

Apparently the coach of Liverpool (UK) once remarked “Football isn’t a matter of life and death – it’s more important than that!”
